Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Carrollton, KY.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Carrollton offers medical detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
